Haha, in the old days there were many diesel-engine that wouldnt start cause of the weather. I´ve been driving diesels for all my life and i promise that there´s no problems starting a diesel in very very low temps. A very important thing is the "glow-plugs". My old, 1987, Mercedes had some problems starting. But i just changed the plugs and it was like a new engine at 600 000 kilometers. Starting way below 20 degrees CELCIUS. Its all about the plugs.
they probably just have really hot glow plugs. I mean so many diesels work in the cold. I dont see why people are acting like we are in the stone age and havent figured out how to use diesels in the cold LOL.
Great looking sled, i love seeing diesels everywhere, they are very practical and efficient engines.
@jacobennis Yeah, I was wondering about that, then saw your statement. Because most diesels aren't too well known for their cold weather starting abilities.
@HunterXray Diesels in the 80's weren't good in the cold, now they all have little things called GLOW PLUGS which makes them start easily even at -35 degrees celcius !
@flyrock45 Near the Arctic circle here and ULDS is crap in cold weather. Would have to put a anti-gel for sure but a diesel runs alot cooler than a combustion engine and it might never warm up to a proper temp . At -40 I think you would have to have it in a heated bldg before you could start it or at the least block heaters. Still cool, but not ideal for up here.
sounds like the diesel plate i used today at work
